Elizabeth StewartElizabeth Stewart was born in February 1945 in Troon, an attractive resort town and fishing port on the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire, Scotland. From there she moved gradually southwards via the Derbyshire coalfields and eventually to London where she tained as a nurse. The primary focus of her work was nursing and for many years she specialised in women's health. As an adjunct to her work she undertook tertiary education in Women's Studies and counselling. Elizabeth moved to Australia in 1969. Now retired, she is a mother and grandmother and lives with her Australian husband in Melbourne. The Toughest Half is her literary debut. Read More Read Less
